Jeans are a bit of a fashion dinosaur. They can be worn with anything and everything! In fact, it is the only item in our wardrobe that challenges all ages and styles.

High-waisted skinny jeans are also suitable for hourglass silhouettes, unlike apple-shaped ones, which should rather focus on a low or medium-rise model.
